All Vivint plans include the Vivint mobile app.

When was the last time you left your home without your phone? Most people have their phone on them at all times; many of us can’t drive, can’t work, can’t workout, or even vacation without our phones, most of us can’t even fall asleep unless we have our phones by our side.

Vivint understands that in 2016 our smartphones are basically our best friends. Instead of seeing our phone dependence as a negative thing Vivint put a positive spin on our technological obsessions and is using it to our advantage. You never have to worry about your home with Vivint home security systems because you can always check on it from afar.
